After an intense opening clash of the three-match Women’s ODI series, the second encounter between India Women and England Women is set to take place at the iconic Lord’s on July 19.
India Women have had a sensational tour so far. After clinching the T20I series, they carried the momentum into the ODIs. Riding on Deepti Sharma’s heroics, they successfully chased their second-highest total in ODI history. Their bowlers have delivered consistently, and the batting unit showed great composure under pressure. A win at Lord’s will help them seal the series and extend their dominance.
England Women are under pressure. Led by Nat Sciver-Brunt, they are going through a rough patch at home. Despite having a strong squad, they haven’t been able to challenge India effectively in either format. Their bowling lacked discipline in the first match leaking runs at crucial junctures. They’ll need to regroup quickly and deliver a better all-round performance to stay alive in the series.

Lord’s Pitch Report
The pitch at Lord’s for ODIs generally offers a good balance between bat and ball. Early on, fast bowlers can get some movement off the seam, particularly if there’s cloud cover. The famous slope adds an extra challenge for batters adjusting to line and length. However, once set, batters can score freely, as the surface tends to ease out. Spinners may come into play in the middle overs, but it’s usually not a turner. Scores around 250–280 are considered competitive. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first, taking advantage of morning assistance and chasing under calmer conditions.
